This toy keeps my two year old occupied more than my four year old. Although it does teach kids the basic words in spanish, like "lago" for lake and "el camino" for the word road, etc, so from that perspective it is educational, but it doesn't hold an older child's attention for very long (4 and up). I would recommened this for ages one to two years of age since repetition is what they enjoy. As for its durability, my son has thrown it around on numerous occasions as the toy is still working like new.

My 2 and a half year old daughter (and now my 7 month old son) enjoy playing with this toy, however my daughter is a little disappointed that Boots does not say anything. I say this toy is not fully functional because the insect fiesta band in the bottom right corner looks like a button that should be pressable to make noises like Dora, Swiper, and the Map, however our button does not go down when we push it, nor does it make any noise. Was ours just the one defective toy, or are there more that have a button that does not work? One day my daughter cried for an hour because this button does not work.

Not an awful toy, but not fabulous. We haven't had to bang it on the floor, but my daughter just doesn't seem impressed by it. I think there's not enough of a "result" when you find the things, so it doesn't hold her attention.

Our daughter received this toy for Festivus. I must agree with the other review, you have to bang it against the ground sometimes in order for it to work. We are returning it!

My 2 1/2 year old enjoys this toy. The repetion is the best thing for this age. From watching Dora, she can count to 10 in Spanish and say Gracias and De Nada at the appropriate time. This toy will continue the excitement and enjoyment of learning Spanish phrases.

This toy is fine if your child is a Dora fan. My kids don't play with it very much, but when they do they spend about 5 minutes with it, enough to learn a spanish word or too. The reviewer that said their band button doesn't work - yes I think it's just decorative because our button doesn't work either. It would be better if it was designed to not look like the other functional buttons.

This toy keeps their attention- you can easily take places, as well.

My daughter is only 16 months old, but is already obsessed with anything Dora. Of all her Dora toys, this is her favorite. She loves pressing the buttons (especially the Swiper button) to hear what they say. This is a great toy since she'll grow into as she understands more of what it can do for I expect another few years.

Before wrapping this up to give to my neice, I "played" with it to make sure everything worked. It did not - the unit would not reconize when the dial on the left was on the 'rock' or the 'bridge'. On the bridge it would only say 'you found the rock'. Then when it would tell you to find the bridge it was impossible. I decided to call FisherPrice and they are now sending me a $20 voucher to use at a retail store. - Simple fix to get my money back, but its the only way to really get something new in time for Christmas.

My 3 and 5 year old play this EVERYDAY!! They have so much fun trying to find out the spanish words!! I think this is a WONDERFUL toy!!! And Trust me it has had its fair share of drops and it doenst have a scratch on it!!!
